It's June.  Playoffs?
there's a Spring season, a short summer season and then a Fall season.

Triple header tonight (DH'd one of them), one of which went extra's.  I'm tired...

The only thing better than playing two is playing three!

I have a 10:00 a.m. game today.  UGH.

Only caveat is that it was softball and not baseball...

Still a good enough time, though.

I got beat up pretty bad today - got run over at the plate, had to block about 15 pitches, took two off the mask, two off the bare-hand, two off the right bicep.  All around rough day behind the dish.

i've been throwing a ball with my son almost every night for the last week, i've got some serious soreness in my forearm high up toward my elbow.  Hopefully I won't need TJ.

you mean you haven't had nearly every game rained out this year like my softball league?

Nope.  Quite the opposite.

Played a double-header last night and caught both ends of it.  I can't decide what hurts more, my shoulder from all the throws I had to make or my legs for squatting for 14 innings. 

:old:

I did throw out consecutive steal attempts in the sixth inning of game 2 so I was still bringing it.  Not bad for an old duffer!

Awesome.  Legs will hurt much more today though.

We finally had nice weather for softball last night but the opponent couldn't field a team and forfeited. Sigh.

It's really hard to win a game with first place on the line without your 3 and 4 hole hitters...
We got a second chance at them (nothing on the line this time...) and out bats came alive and they didn't find all the holes in our defense.  Had a less patchwork lineup, though my 2 hole was out this week.  Gave them their only loss going into the playoffs, that was nice.  Won 18-8.

Tourmanemts this weekend.  Minimum of six games.  Question is whether my arm will still be attached come Monday morning and will I be able to walk.  Gonna be a blast, but I have a feeling it's gonna hurt...

Survived it in decent shape.  Didn't have too many throws, so the arm's in good shape.  We were mostly over matched, but we did squeak out the last game.

We won on Friday night as well (game time temp was a crisp 100*F).  Went 0-for-6 throwing out steal attempts and felt like Jesus Flores.

I've got two more games tonight, those will be more physical than the four yesterday were.  Also, that's a much better team...

Well, we won the first game handily.  Second game we led 6-3 going into the top of the seventh.  They score two runs with a double play mixed in so we're up 6-5.  No runners on, two out and the batter hits something between a line drive and a pop fly between me and the RF, I charge over to it but can't adjust and have to reach down to grab it, it hits off the heel of my glove.  My right hand is there, but I can't close around it fast enough and it falls.  We have two more dropped flies, another that would have ended the game and the other would have got us in the dugout tied.  They score three more all told after I dropped mine.  We're down 8-6.  I led off the top of the seventh with a HR, but it wasn't enough and we lost 8-7.  I've had a night to sleep on it and it still sucks.

OOF.  Terrible feeling being the goat.  When's the next game so you can forget this one?

Will do....  It's just a pick-up game so it's likely to be an ugly game...    :lol:

That's a great little town and stadium.   There are no "just a pick-up game" played there.    Clemente', Mantle, Cobb, Paige, Ruth, Williams, Stengel, etc.  will be watching.    :cheers:
